14 aspects to consider when buying a grapple

This isn't about one specific tractor but a buyer's-guide walkaround covering grapple shopping generally: root rake vs. floor style, steel quality, serration tradeoffs, replaceable teeth, single vs. dual cylinders/lids, hose routing, cylinder guards, hydraulic couplers, and back-pressure damage to third-function solenoids. It's a detailed feature-by-feature comparison across brands (Lamb Pride, Vernard, Bradco) rather than a review of one product, useful for anyone deciding what grapple to add to their tractor.
